Currently, you could say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is trying to prepare a 'red carpet' to welcome the appearance of a number of Kang variants in the Multiverse Saga. One of them is Kang the Conqueror himself, who is certain to become a big bad villain in the upcoming Avengers: The Kang Dynasty crossover film. Apart from his existence, which until now has not been revealed by Marvel, there is actually a secret variant of Kang that has the potential to become a big threat in the MCU, he is Mister Gryphon. How could that be? Immediately, see the discussion below, Geeks!
Mister Gryphon aka Kang the Millionaire
Before discussing the theory of his emergence as a secret variant of Kang in the MCU, let's first get to know the origins of Mister Gryphon in Marvel Comics. First making his debut in the All-New comic, All-Different Avengers (2015), the Gryphon is depicted as a direct variant of Kang the Conqueror who was born due to a timestream glitch. As a result, he was thrown into the 21st century and told he couldn't go anywhere anymore because he was held back by the firewall of time. Undecided, he then tries to establish his own dynasty in the present by becoming a reliable and corrupt businessman.
One of the Gryphon's efforts is to establish a company called Qeng Enterprise. Where he then manipulated a number of villains to want to grow his company. Long story short, after succeeding in becoming one of the richest CEOs on Earth, he was finally able to buy Stark Tower from Stark Industries. It was at this point that he met and teamed up with a Chitauri general named Wabringer, who wanted to open a portal to bring Chitauri troops to Earth. This, of course, immediately met with resistance from the Avengers superhero team.
Not long after defeating the Warbringer, the Avengers finally realized that the CEO Qeng they had been fighting was a secret variant of Kang. The Avengers themselves just found a loophole to defeat him when Iron Man managed to free Vision, who was previously controlled by the Gryphon. Right when Vision cornered him, Thor immediately hit the Gryphon as hard as he could with Mjolnir until he entered the timestream. Until now it is still unclear whether Gryphon really lost, or from the beginning he really wanted to return to the timestream with the help of the Avengers.
The Kang variant that has other advantages
Because basically Mister Gryphon is a variant of Kang who lives with a secret identity in the 21st century, not many are aware that he still has the intelligence and technological sophistication possessed by the other variants of Kang in general. This is what makes him seem more dangerous than Kang the Conqueror or other Kang variants. Because with the wealth he has, the Gryphon really understands that he can have everything only with money. He didn't need to put so much effort into conquering Earth with power.
Even so, when finally fighting with the Avengers, the Gryphon began to show its true power. What was surprising was when he summoned an army of zombies to confront the Avengers who were fighting the Warbringer. Previously, it might not have been said that there was a Kang variant that mastered the ability of necromancy. In battle, he can also create time portals with his bare hands to throw Mjolnir that Thor throws into the future. These various advantages make it one of the most unique Kang variants.
Potential To Appear In The Future Of The MCU
Even though until now Marvel Studios hasn't introduced Mister Gryphon, there is one story that indicates that this secret variant of Kang has existed for a long time in the MCU. At the end of Captain America: Civil War (2016), Tony aka Iron Man is told to sell Stark Tower to a mysterious buyer and start moving all his belongings to the Avengers Compound. If the MCU takes the same direction as Marvel Comics, it's possible that the buyer of Stark Tower whose identity is being withheld could be none other than a Gryphon, a variant of Kang whose existence not even the other Kangs know.
If this theory holds true, it means that while superheroes and fans alike are focusing on other Kang variants, such as He Who Remains in Loki and Warrior Kang in the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Mister Gryphon has actually started to build his own dynasty as a businessman. the richest in the MCU. With Tony's death in Avengers: Endgame (2019), it's not impossible for the Gryphon to take over Stark Industries by buying a majority of its shares. And when the time is right, he just might reveal his true self to the world and all of us.
